Are you or do you know any local sports fans who used to be season-ticket holders or attend several games involving our pro teams each year and simply don’t go anymore?

What has turned fans off?

Why don’t they go anymore?

What attracts fans to games?

How much of a factor is going to watch a winning team?

I’m working on a special project and fans opinions on that is part of my story. If you would like to give me some feedback, please e-mail me ASAP at jdiveron@DemocratandChronicle.com. Please leave me your full name, age and town in which you live. THANKS

SHOWDOWN TONIGHT (FRIDAY): The Rhinos take their league-best six-match win streak to Montreal (7-10-7) for a matchup with the Impact, who responded to owner Joey Saputo’s recent scolding by clubbing Crystal Palace Baltimore, 5-0, last Saturday. “We’re going to look straight into the eyes of a very experienced, talented team that seems to have woken up, so it’s a big test for us,” coach Bob Lilley said. Rochester has never shut out Montreal in their season series but has that chance tonight, up 2-0-1. Click here for my full preview.
